Why has my refund not be paid yet?



If you were selected for verification and thereafter you receive your ITSA statement of account which reflects you weren't selected for verification or audit does that mean SARS will pay the refund or can u still be selected for further audit?

No if your ITA34 says your are being audited and you have a block on your eFiling page asking for documents to be uploaded then you need to do so before any refund can be paid out.

I WAS SELECTED FOR AUDIT WHICH WAS DONE AND THEN I RECEIVED THE ITSA THEREAFTER SHOWING THE REFUND WAS DUE ON 1 NOV( says additional assessment). AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ITSA IT SAYS NO NEXT TO " SELECTED FOR VERIFICATION OR AUDIT". WOULD THIS NOT REFLECT YES IF THERE WAS FURTHER VERIFICATION? DOES THE ITSA NOT SIGNAL THE END OF IT?

You need to receive a completion letter from SARS first - that will tell you if your audit was completed. It will be in your eFiling inbox. Else you can call SARS on 0800 007277 to find out if there are other issues.
